First note the Rugged Armor Kit costs much less about 5g vs about 80g for mats for the Scroll of Enchant Chest - Major Resilience(or wowhead suggests 180g to buy a scroll already made in the AH)so since we know which is cheaper the question remains, which reduces damage by more and by how much.

3. Total armor and reseilience after replacing kit on chest with Scroll of Enchant Chest - Major Resilience:Character Info > Defense > Armor: Reduces Physical Damage taken by 26.71% (goes back down because replaced with resilience)Character Info > Defense > Resilience: Provides 2.77% damage reduction against all damage done by players and their pets or minions

So it looks like Scroll of Enchant Chest - Major Resilience will provide more damage reductionat level 43 (2.77%) than a Rugged Armor Kit (0.53%), especially considering it reduces against all damage doneinstead of just physical damage (like the armor kit). However it should be noted for a hunter the armor kitwill reduce the physical damage your pet receives too, so you can take that into consideration too if you want.
